Floor posted this on her blog after the show: "The duet was the very last song of Tarja's show, and by that the very last of the entire festival. It felt like a grand finale! It was great fun on stage! There was such a happy vibe in that hall, the audience, the band, us singers, all in one happy emotion. The good one of making music together. No soaps, no discussions about who's better, prettier and all the bullshit (we singers get sooooo tired of that)....only music and happiness. A clear signal! :-)" So to the people arguing as always like a bunch of idiots about who is the better Nightwish singer - grow up, shut up and enjoy this good music. These two superbly talented women will not be around forever, so learn to appreciate them.

Yeah former and current... without the mistake inbetween ;) (sorry Anette fans)

I hope this shows there is finally peace among Tarja and Nightwish, as well as among Nightwish fans that have been torn with their loyalties and fighting over singers for the last several years. I too hope that Floor pushes them over the top into becoming one of the biggest bands in the world, which they deserve to be. Let's not forget that Anette also contributed to a great Nightwish album in Dark Passion Play as well as Storytime, and stood tall in a very difficult few years trying to make her own mark in the shadow of a singer like Tarja. I got to see NIghtwish several times with Anette, and she always put on a great show.

As someone living in America where we have maybe one or two bands of the Nightwish/Epica caliber, I am so tired of the endless who's better/hotter/etc. that gets bandied about female vocalists in metal. I love Tarja because she was my gateway drug into this style of metal. Through Tarja I discovered such amazing bands/vocalists like Floor, Sharon, Simone, Amanda, Christina, Charlotte, Vibke, Manuella and many others. The fact that there's professional respect between these women is awesome, considering how the industry (at least here in the States) likes to create fake controversies in order to sell more records. It's just cool to watch these two amazing women bring it full force. I so wish I'd been there!

Seriously people sit back and just enjoy two woman who rock. Revel in the sheer operatic voice Tarja brings and the absolute beauty of Floor. Both of these woman are great in their own right.

Hands to Hand ... When it is an unjust want to compare them, while now is the best moment Floor Jansen and on the contrary this Tarja plunged in bad moments... Always Tarja!!

Very classy on Tarja's part. Much respect

This is breathtaking. If only I was at this show, where it would be one of the greatest moments of my life, but this will do for now =). I really hope this settles some arguments, they both are truly extraordinary and talented women.

Two of my favorite singers sing together my favorite song

this is just beautiful, no egos, no drama, two wonderful singers together just for the sake of music, Floor i just love the way she sings and Tarja, i've never really cared much of her, but here she demonstrated that she deserves every bit of respect anyone can have. As for the person who took the time to record this, thank you, i know how annoying recording a concert sometimes can be, much love for you for letting us see this and hopefully people will stop comparing them and just enjoy music!

love it! great combo!

Me agrada lo que hace Tarja introduciendo a Floor en su espectaculo, nuevamente habla bien de ella al darle todo su apoyo a la nueva integrante de su antigua banda. Excelente cancion la que escogieron, sobre todo porque se ven muy comodas ambas al interactuar en el escenario, me encanto el aporto, gracias FemaleMetalLover Gok.

Beautiful duet, in every way.

Amazing, awesome, pretty concert. Both are amazing!

I’m crying really it’s the best thing I have seen

Please people, keep in mind some things. Tarja is lyric soprano, Floor is dramatic one. Tarja has admitted she only sings with classical voice, while Floor can sing in both styles. I believe Floor is the best option for Nightwish because she can replace both previous singers in terms of singing technique. Yet, I believe we love both Tarja and Floor, and like I said, they are DIFFERENT even in classical terms...

@@earthbound8070 Tarja has been trying to limit her vibrato and adapt a more "pop" way of singing ever since century child and so on. On lower notes, yes she can sing with speaking voice, indeed. But for the most part she mainly uses classical voice, just lessens her vibrato. Cant remember which interview it was, but Tarja herself had admitted her speaking voice was too weak to sing that way. Still, singers change and evolve by practicing different techniques. It was an old interview so things may have changed. And i still remember that when tarja made less operatic vocals, many others followed her example and did the same.

I quote Tarja "We need to keep going, and you need to keep the love going" Plase, take that into mind before you comment.

I am so tired of reading the comments about this singer or that singer is better. Floor, Tarja, and Annette are all different singers. Their ranges and their styles will be different, but none of them are better or worse. Annete could not hit as high as Tarja, and Floor has a similar, though not entirely same, range. Floor has a more primal energy on stage, while Tarja always came across as regal. Ultimately, though, none of them are BETTER than the others. They are just different. Funny thing..I never see discussion about Van Halen get as bitter and angry as discussions about Nightwish..I wonder why that is? I mean, they changed lead singers multiple times, too..

Alex is right. If you HAD to pick which is best, without a doubt, Tarja's voice is the most skilled in what she is able to do. Annette has a different style of singing than Tarja though. If we are talking about flexibility in singing capabilities though, Annete is the worst out of the three, but seriously, why not appreciate them equally for their musical contributions?

It would be great to have a Tarja - Floor duet. Of course now that they have Floor they really wouldn't need Tarja as Floor can not only do rock and contemporary she can also sing operatic as well when need be. Floor could practically do a duet with herself, lol. But teaming Tarja up would definitely appease some of the older fans who grew up with her. Maybe Tarja could open for Nightwish and do guest vocals on a couple of Nightwish songs. Imagine GLS where Tarja sings the first half and Floor sings the second half.

This is epic! Wish I were there ♡
